This dissertation investigates the development of binder-free biomass-derived activated carbon electrodes for energy storage applications. Firstly, it introduces various electrochemical storage mechanisms and discusses the potential of utilizing industrial crops in electrode manufacturing. Subsequently, existing literature on industrial crop utilization for electrode materials is reviewed. Following this, methods for producing binder-free activated carbon electrodes from biomass sources are explored. The impact of retting on electrode properties is investigated, examining how different processing techniques influence performance. Mechanical stress and flow simulations are employed to gain insights into the behavior and performance of these unique electrodes. The study concludes with a comprehensive summary of findings and recommendations for future research directions, highlighting the potential of binder-free biomass-derived activated carbon electrodes in advancing sustainable energy storage solutions.
